Also note! If you've been to
Also note! If you've been to a SeaDUG at Tableau before, the location has changed. We're now meeting in the beige building directly across from Fremont Brewing.
The address on this event reflects it.
Workspace Nearby?
Was thinking about rolling down early to work remote-remotely, and I know there's a Starbucks nearby... something a little better you know of? Thanks!

A couple options...
All these have wifi of varying quality. Usually good enough to get work done.

Anything we need to know to
Anything we need to know to access the building? This is a different location than the previous time we met at Tableau, correct?
Thanks!
Nope! The room we're meeting
Correct, this is a different location.
Nothing special to know though! The room we're meeting in is on the first floor directly next to the door, so we'll see you. If not, knock on the window to the right of the door.

Hosted Website Builder Comparison
I'm researching hosted website builders for my community of 500+ seniors. The pilot will be to put the community calendar and expanded newsletter online. Later additions to include reader submissions. Work-flow management and ease of use for content editors are high priorities.
I prepared detailed Google Sheets comparing three hosted website builders that you can view here http://tinyurl.com/squarespace-weebly-wix [5 Tabs: Comparison, SquareSpace, Weebly, WiX, Legend and Notes.] Feel free to copy and adapt it for your use.
After 9-12 months, I expect to have a mature Drupal 8 or BackdropCMS solution ready for migration when the more tech-savvy users hit the limits of hosted website builders.
